The Smoking Gun also reports that
Dominiak, a Michigan native, has worked
as an auditor at the Federal Reserve in Philadelphia.

Records show that Dominiak shared a Philadelphia address
with Kurisko. Also, Dominiak suspiciously deactivated his Facebook account this week, The Smoking Gun reports.

Gawker editor Remy Stern told MailOnline his blog paid in the 'low four figures' for the account and accompanying photos, and that Gawker did not post the most salacious details.

Fun-loving The then 39-year-old O'Donnell is pictured at a bar in Philadelphia, right, and back at the anonymos man's apartment

According
to the website, O'Donnell insisted on using
the man's flat to change into a ladybug costume, then persuaded him to
come out for the evening.

The
pair knocked back beers together before he claims O'Donnell made it
clear she wanted to spend the night with him.

Back at his flat, they allegedly
started
getting passionate on his couch before they went to his bedroom.

O'Donnell stripped naked and slipped
between
the sheets, the man claims.

But
things started to go wrong after the then 39-year-old allegedly told
him she was a 'virgin' and that she did not want to have sex.

He said: 'Christine was a decent
kisser, but
as
soon as her clothes came off and she was naked in my bed,
Christine informed me that she was a virgin.'

The man also revealed what he claimed
were signs that she wasn't very experienced
sexually saying, 'When her underwear came off, I immediately noticed
that the
waxing trend had completely passed her by'.

He said: 'Obviously,
that was a big turnoff, and I quickly lost interest. I said goodnight,
rolled over, and went to sleep.'

Next morning, O'Donnell was allegedly
slow to get out of bed and
he dropped her off at her friends' house before going to work.

The man tells Gawker: 'I wasn't
planning on contacting Christine after our night together.
Things hadn't gone so great - especially the part that took place in my
bedroom - and I didn't see any reason to try and see her again. '

O'Donnell allegedly texted and called
the man
over the next two weeks, until he made it clear he wasn't interested.

But in a bizarre twist, she ended up going
out with the man's flat-mate. 'They didn't have sex either,' he adds.

A spokesman for O'Donnell told Gawker: 'This
story is just another example of the sexism and slander that female
candidates are forced to deal with.

'From Secretary Clinton, to Governor Palin, to
soon-to-be Governor Haley, Christine's political opponents have been
willing to engage in appalling and baseless attacks - all with the aim
of distracting the press from covering the real issues in this race.

'Even the National Organisation for Women
gets it, but Christine's opponent disturbingly does not.

'As Chris Coons said on September
16th he would not condone personal attacks against Christine.
'Classless Coons goons have proven yet again to have no sense of common
decency or common sense with their desperate attacks to get another
rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda.

'Such attacks are truly shameful,
but they will not distract us from making our case to Delaware voters —
and keeping the focus on Chris Coons' record of higher taxes, increased
spending, and as he has done again here, breaking his promises to the
voters.'

The story, which has been published
just a week before Ms O'Donnell attempts to win vice president Joe
Biden's old Delaware seat, has sparked a huge backlash.

'Gawker hits O'Donnell while she's down,'
wrote The Atlantic.

In
a column for the Huffington Post, author Danielle Crittendon wrote:
'This whole story reeks as a pre-election plant, and Gawker should own
up to the identity of this cowardly sexual creep.'

O'Donnell reminded voters that she was behind in the polls before her surprising win in the Republican primaries earlier this year and the same could happen during next Tuesday's mid-term elections

Meghan McCain, who famously branded
O'Donnell a 'nut job', was
just one of the many who sprang to her defence.

In her angry tweet, Megan McCain added: 'This is the exact reason why women don't want to run for office in this country... Anybody saying there isn't a double standard for how the media
treats women versus men running for office isn't living in reality.'

The 26-year-old daughter of GOP
Senator John
McCain added: 'I am no fan of O'Donnell but what Gawker has done is
disgusting and vile and once again not showcasing the real issues in
this election.'

Gawker said that it knew the man's identity and had verified his links to Ms O'Donnell.

The man said he had rented an apartment that Ms O'Donnell's aunt owned, and that after their encounter she had dated one of his roommates for a year.

Gawker claimed to have verified those details.

The website said it had not received
a sworn affidavit from the man and when it was originally published, that it had not had any comment from
Ms O'Donnell on the story.

Managing Editor of Gawker.com Remy Stern said that the mystery man
chose now to tell his story because of Ms O'Donnell's growing popularity,
saying: 'I don't think he really thought about it until the last few
weeks when she started attracting so much media attention and looked
like a contender.

'He wanted to keep his anonymity but wanted to tell his story in a complete and comprehensive way.'

Ms O'Donnell continues to drop in the
polls and is currently 21 points behind her democratic candidate Chris
Coons.

She shocked the U.S. and became the darling of the right-wing Tea
Party movement when she won the Republican Primary in Delaware, and has positioned
herself against the 'big government' politics of the Democrats.

She has made mistakes on the campaign trail, including confusing Afghanistan with
Iraq when talking about troop withdrawals and claiming the U.S. was fighting the
Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

Her somewhat bizarre personal life also came back to haunt her when
she was questioned about a TV advert in which she was forced to state
'I am not a witch'.

Asked why she made it, she said: 'To put it to rest, to put it behind
me.'

It was a response to comments she once made in which she admitted to dabbling
in witchcraft in her youth.

Despite the support of the Tea Party wing of the Republican party, she is viewed
by many as a liability, even if she appeals to grass roots Republicans in the
same manner as Sarah Palin, whom she is regularly compared to.

During her 2006 bid for the Senate Ms O’Donnell was quoted as saying that China
has a ‘carefully thought-out a strategic plan to take over America’.

She has also been caught out claiming that she studied at Oxford University
when she only attended a course on ‘Post Modernism in the Millennium’ for a few
weeks.

Ms O’Donnell has also been mocked for a video clip from 1996, in which she says
masturbation is a form of adultery.

She also got into an animated exchange on a radio talk show on Tuesday which was caught on audio and video tape.

Unbeknown to Ms O'Donnell, WDEL-AM were videotaping the interview which captured a physically agitated Ms O'Donnell, snapping her fingers at host Rick Jensen and motioning her aide to her side during questions about specifics on budget cuts.

After the show, Ms O'Donnell's campaign manger Matt Moran called the Delaware station manager to demand that the video be destroyed and threatened to 'crush' the station with a lawsuit if it was not.

WDEL general manager Michael Reath said: 'He accused us of creating a story to garner ratings because we must be hurting since the Phillies were no longer on the air'

The station reports it later received an apology from the O'Donnell campaign with O'Donnell spokesman Doug Sachtleben saying today that there is 'no threat to sue DEL'.

'There had been a question prior to the interview as to whether or not a video camera would be running and it's my fault for not pursuing that', Sachtleben said.

'The question was never clearly answered, even though it was put to the host twice. We think the video shows Christine to be a strong candidate that went toe to toe with a strong talk show host', he added.

Ms O'Donnell continues to drop in the polls and is currently 21 points behind her Democratic candidate Chris Coons in the Delaware senate race.
